Car runs rough
I have a 2004 Jaguar XJ8 that rides rough when I go past 60 mph.the suspension faulty light comes on sometimes.whenever I go into potholes it makes a lound sound and it pulls the steering wheels.I don't think there is a problem with the height.sometimes when I drive the gas empty light will just come on even when there is plenty of gas in the car.can anyone tell me what is wrong or what I need to do.

Can you tell us a little more about the car, please. How long have you owned it ? How many miles on the car ? Has it been well maintained and looked after ?
These are not cars for regular use on rough and bad roads, and need well maintained highways to show their best. Any car will make a loud sound and pull the steering if you drive into a pothole.
The fault displays will have recorded a fault code that can be read by a dealer or Jaguar specialist, and give a clue as to what is wrong. The fuel empty indication when you have half a tank left looks like a faulty fuel level sender. This is installed in the tank.

Regarding the suspension fault messages, have you replaced the suspension air compressor in the 5 years you've owned it ? This is normally the first thing to give trouble due to the compressor piston seal wearing out. If you can get the codes read, look out for C2303.
